My Girl and Tenderness

Page 13

Qin Kong watched it peck fiercely, and quickly snatched it away, not letting it succeed. Even he himself did not realize that his reaction speed was much faster than yesterday.

Looking at Aunt Hong who was smiling beside him, he asked——

"Can I give it this thing to eat? Will it get into trouble like what happened to me last night?"

Although he only felt uncomfortable for a short while before being soothed by Aunt Hong, Qin Kong didn't know what would happen if the bird ate it, so he was afraid something might happen to it.

Aunt Hong nodded and said——

"Of course, it will be of great benefit to it."

"Is that so?"

Qin Kong didn't think much about it. Since Aunt Hong said so, there must be no problem. He opened his palm and put it to its mouth. The pair of bright yellow eyes lit up and pecked at his hand excitedly.

Tread.

Aunt Hong came over and gently stroked its head, warning it not to peck her hand. She looked at Qin Kong with a loving look and said with a smile -

"Since Sir likes it, why not keep it?"

"Ah? This won't work, right?"

Qin Kong knew that Aunt Hong would always follow his thoughts, but doing this kind of thing still had some problems, so he said -

"Wildlife protection is very strict nowadays. You can't feed or hunt them. Almost all wild animals are protected by a list, right?"

"I'm not sure either. I've heard a lot about this kind of thing. Even sparrows are protected, not to mention owls, which are rare animals with even smaller populations. I'm afraid they'll end up in jail if they investigate."

He said this, and the love for it was so obvious in his eyes. Of course he wanted to keep it if possible.

Aunt Hong could see it, so she said:

"Don't worry, sir. I'm sure the things you're talking about have nothing to do with it. It's impossible for ordinary people to know of its existence, and there's no way to protect it."

"Really?"

It seems to be some special species? Come to think of it, this is an existence used as a messenger by Xiuxian Cave Heaven, so it must be quite impressive.

But this brings up another layer of worry, saying——

"But it seems to be related to that cave?"

"It's probably just cooperation. It doesn't matter. As long as you like it, sir."

As she spoke, she took out a metal ring from somewhere, handed it to him, and said -

"Only those with symbols have owners. It just so happens that it doesn't have one yet. Sir, please put it on it."

"Cuckoo!"

Owl finally raised his head when he heard this, with an expression that said "What are you doing!"

Qin Kong's heart was moved. He looked at it on his shoulder, thought for a moment and said:

"Well, just let me support you. Look, I provide you with food and drink. If you want rice rolls, I have rice rolls. If you want fruit, I have fruit. You eat whatever I eat. Isn't that good for you?"

"Gu..."

It couldn't help but hesitate when it heard these words. Its wise eyes looked at the dining table, then at the spiritual fruit with only crumbs left in his hand, and it knew that he was right.

He just wanted to pamper it and had no bad intentions at all. This could be seen. He was just a simple big boy.

Qin Kong just said this casually, looked at the metal ring in his hand, and asked -

"How do I use this thing..."

"Calm down. The spiritual fruit has laid the foundation. The sword immortal method can be used. Just pass on a ray of power."

Aunt Hong held his wrist, knowing that he was unskilled, and guided him in the operation. Mysterious runes representing his information slowly emerged on the metal ring, which was his proof of being the master.

"amazing."

What happened today was so bizarre that Qin Kong still felt it was a little unreal. However, with Aunt Hong by his side to guide him, he felt more at ease.

He held the metal ring, gently lifted the owl's left foot, and said -

"Don't move."

"Goo."

Before it could recover from its hesitation, it was clicked and the certificate belonging to it was buckled on its foot. It couldn't help but raise its paw with a complicated look in its eyes.

But after taking a look at Aunt Hong next to him, he decided to forget it. It was acceptable that he hadn't been stewed.

"Hehe, that's great, you're so good, do you want some more fruit?"

"Cuckoo!"

While playing with his new pet, he carefully looked at his good brother's acceptance letter.

Pursing her lips gently, she said:

"So this is what Mulan is hiding from me."

In fact, he could feel from childhood that his good brother had a complicated family background. The other party never told him, and he tacitly never asked.

Because he always felt that when getting along with someone, he didn't need to look at other things about him, he just needed to look at the person himself.

No matter what, Mulan is his best friend.

that's enough.

That’s what I thought.

But why do I care about it now? Being kept in the dark by my good brother, I can't help but doubt whether they are really that close.

Maybe in the eyes of the other party, I am just a "Muggle" who has never been exposed to the other world?

Aunt Hong looked at his sudden silence, sat on the sofa with him, held his hand, and said -

"Maybe it's not hidden, but you just didn't ask? If you asked, you would get all the answers, maybe?"

"..."

Qin Kong looked at her and knew what Aunt Hong meant. She was not only talking about her good brother, but also about herself. There were many mysteries about her, and she was a mystery.

He scratched his head and complained -

"Even if you ask me, I don't know where to start. There are too many... It's too troublesome. Let's just forget it for now. Anyway..."

"Anyway?"

She tilted her head.

Qin Kong scratched his face with his index finger rather embarrassedly, turned his eyes away slightly, and said -

"Anyway, after spending more time together, you'll naturally know it..."

"This, this is it..."

After being together for a long time, they have no secrets or privacy from each other. This kind of relationship can probably only be achieved between husband and wife.

Good brother? Sorry, it's out of the game.

Aunt Hong sat side by side with him on the sofa, each of them clasped their palms together, feeling each other's touch.

"Cuckoo..."

The owl standing in his arms looked at the shy man and woman...especially at Aunt Hong's blushing expression like a little girl, and his wise eyes looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Cough cough..."

Aunt Hong put her hand in front of her lips and coughed twice, then glanced at the silly bird with her red eyes, as if warning it not to say anything unnecessary.

Then he said to him:

"Sir, now that you have practiced the Sword Immortal Technique, you can eat spiritual fruits at will. Although it cannot improve your realm, it is still good to improve your foundation."

"I see."

Qin Kong looked at himself from left to right. Apart from being a little lighter, there didn't seem to be any major changes. After all, it was only the first day of cultivation, so it was normal.

"Okay, I'll go to work first."

"Working?"

"Well, let's go open the store."

He looked at the beautiful lady at home. In front of Aunt Hong, he couldn't help but want to show himself. At least he couldn't stay at home and be lazy all day, right?

"Then I'm going out."

Qin Kong changed his clothes into a black top, grey shorts, and a pair of cloth shoes and was ready to go out.

"Wait a moment."

Aunt Hong came out in slippers, took his hand and carefully checked his appearance. After looking for a long time, she was satisfied, smiled, straightened his clothes, and said -

"Okay, let's go."

"Oh."

Qin Kong scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said -

"Hasn't it been sorted out just now?"

Aunt Hong had already helped him tidy up, and he felt that today was the neatest he had ever been.

She smiled and said -

"Well, you should also take care of yourself before going out. I forgot where I heard this, but this is also a way to enhance our relationship, and let you know that I care about you."

Aunt Hong is very honest.

Qin Kong smiled helplessly and said——

"It's just downstairs."

The store is in the same neighborhood, just a peripheral store. So if you are so close and still don't go to work all day, you must be too lazy.

But he also had something to say, he had worked hard all his life, why couldn't he enjoy himself...

He looked into Aunt Hong's eyes, and she looked up at him. Only now did he realize that Aunt Hong was shorter than him, and her virtuous and mature aura always made him feel that Aunt Hong was taller.

Looking at her thin lips, she tilted her head slightly as if she was expecting something.

Should, shouldn't...

"Cuckoo!"

While he was daydreaming, the silly bird in the house suddenly flapped its wings and flew out, landing on his shoulder.

"You want to come too?"

Qin Kong blinked, then smiled and rubbed its neck with his fingers, saying -

"Let's go then."

"..."

Aunt Hong narrowed her eyes and said:

"Why don't you put a leash on it? It would be bad if it ran away suddenly."

"Cuckoo!"

The silly bird kept shaking its head and rubbed his cheek as if to please him.
